  • The Armand Preud'homme Museum was a museum in Peer, Belgium, that was dedicated to the Belgian composer Armand Preud'homme (1904-1986). From 1990 to 2018 the museum formed a combination with the Heemkundig Museum (local museum) upstairs, called the Dulle Griet Museum. Preud'homme was born in this house, when his father was a teacher and head of the municipal boys school. The land of the house and the school was acquired by the municipality on 3 April 1859. It was developed by the provincial underarchitect and built from 1860 to 1861. Preud'homme was an organist and composed hundreds of songs and operettas on themes like connectivity of people and the nostalgia for his birth region. His most popular operetta was Op de purp'ren hei and his most popular song Kempenland; the latter one was popular during the occupation of the Second World War as march music for paramilitary groups. The museum was founded by Jaak Geuns and was largely run by volunteers. It showed belongings of the musician, like his grand piano, news paper articles, photographs, and sheet music of his most famous songs and operettas. The number of groups visiting the museum went down from eight hundred per year at the beginning to just a couple in 2018. In this year the municipality of Peer decided to close both museums. On this site it planned apartments and a service center. (en)
  • Het Armand Preud'homme-museum was van 1990 tot 2018 een museum aan de Kloosterstraat 37 in de Belgische stad Peer. Het museum was samen met het Heemkundig Museum gevestigd in het geboortehuis van de Vlaams-nationalistische componist en liedschrijver Armand Preud'homme, welke in 1986 te Brasschaat overleed. Dit pand was een onderwijzerswoning, want Armands vader was schoolhoofd van de gemeentelijke jongensschool. Het werd in 1861 voltooid en architect was Herman Jaminé. In 1990 werd hier het Armand Preud'homme- en Heemkundig Museum gevestigd. Het Heemkundig Museum ging verder als Dulle Grietmuseum. Een gedenkplaat bij de deur toont de tekst: Hier zong Armand Preud'homme zijn eerste Kempenlied. In het Armand Preud'homme-museum waren herinneringen aan de componist te zien, zoals zijn vleugelpiano, partituren, krantenknipsels en andere geschriften. Het aantal bezoekers was in 2018 zodanig geslonken, dan de gemeente beide musea in 2018 sloot. (nl)
